      <p>Perhaps someday I'll be a cellular carrier :) <br>
      </p>
      <p><br>
      </p>
      <p>But I'd also like to bring a public <b>Signal only</b> access
        point online (that's been difficult for many reasons)...securely
        dumping all that traffic into a known competent datacenter (not
        my personal IP). With the right hardware - believe I could
        illuminate a 1/2 mile area here.</p>
      <p>Then people would have choices. Near untraceable dump into the
        PSTN, or the real security of Signal to Signal. <u>No internet
          or cell carrier subscription required</u>.<br>
      </p>
      <p>The real problem with these schemes is limiting them to
        "communications only" as opposed to craps who just wanna do
        illegal downloads :( You're not gonna get volunteers if they're
        constantly subject to DCMA shakedowns. No one wants that grief.</p>
      <p><br>
      </p>
      <p><font color="#ff0000">Would be nice if I could get every NRA
          member to do something like this :) Believe it's
          doable....just requires some rich boy seed money to fund the
          booth at their annual convention - and a real plan. Can't be a
          propellerhead project...needs to be plug and play. Not
          everyone who fears for our constitutional freedoms is up to
          running something like this. They'd want to help - but how?<br>
        </font></p>
      <p><font color="#ff0000">Suspect many NRA members would pony up
          for such systems - writing a check right on the convention
          floor. Piggybacking such an effort for Signal would be the
          right thing to do.</font><br>
